Question

Medium sodas cost $1.25 and hot dogs cost $2.50.

Answer 1

Answer:

They can buy 16 sodas.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each soda costs $15. So, if they have $20 to buy sodas, we can find the amount of sodas by applying the rule of three:

So, if one cost $15, how many soda could they but with $20?

$x= 20\frac{1soda}{ 1.25} =16(sodas)$

If we make a table would be like this:

Amount of Soda       Cost ($)

1                                  1.25

2                                 2.50

3                                 3.75

4                                 5

5                                 6.25

6                                 7.50

7                                 8.75

8                                 10

9                                 11.25

10                                12.50

11                                 13.75

12                                15

13                                16.25

14                                17.50

15                                18.75

16                                20

Therefore, with $20 they can buy 16 sodas.
